Those look awesome – the first time I looked at your recipe I misread and thought you said 2 pounds of sugar. I knew there was something wrong with that. haha.

Hi Jenn,

I have made this recipe several times and it is amazing! I do have one quick question… the bottom layer always comes out kind of hard and crusty. I have tried greasing and dusting the pan with flour, but it did not help much. I usually trim off the bottom to get rid of the hard parts, but I was wondering if you have ever had the same problem. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

@Hannah
Mochiko flour is NOT sweet, which is why you need to add sugar to make desserts. These are old-skool tried and true recipes, but you are more than welcome to modify them as you like.

@jeneya
Maybe you are used to PLAIN mochi:http://justjennrecipes.com/mochi-making/2009/12/29/ That is not sweetened at all.
Mine wasn’t hard either, but it could also depend on the weather where you live.

Your Mochi is very good. =] But I think it’s waaay two sweet. Does making it sit over night make it softer?

Hi,

I was wondering if I could make green tea flavored mochi from this recipe? I have green tea powder at home, but I don’t have how much to put. HAha.

Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if I can use Jello flavor powder to replace food coloring? If yes, how do you recommend to add them in? Should I dissolve them in water first? What two flavors will mostly taste and look good together?

thanks
